 Going by the website, the latest release shown on the front page is
 2.12.3, and the latest release on ftp.gtk.org is 2.12.6.
 
 So, two things:  Should the download URL just be switched to
 ftp.gnome.org?  And do we need someone to update the news on the front
 page when releases are made?  I don't mind volunteering for this for now
 if it's something that needs doing.

What I typically do when releasing pango is:

- Upload to gnome.org and install-module
- Wait for mirrors to catch up, sending out release announcement to fill
the time
- ssh to gtk.org and run my script to mirror the tarballs from
gnome.org.  That is, if the harddisk is not full again...
- If I remember to do it, update the webpage.

Also note that the preferred address for gnome.org tarballs is
download.gnome.org/
